Gala evening: German Film Ball is canceled again

The German Film Ball in Munich will be canceled for the third time in a row in 2023. "In order to create clarity for everyone involved and to rule out possible unnecessary costs, we have now decided to take this difficult step," said the umbrella organization of the film industry (SPIO), which also referred to the difficult economic situation in the film industry. The ball needs a celebratory framework without conditions - and above all planning security, which is currently not available. The new date should now be January 20, 2024.
